This bike has become my everyday rider. I use my Montana for all occasions. I have never felt more confident riding single track as I do on these fat wheels. Not only that, but I can ride it all year with the benefits of full suspension even in the snow, no need for my stump jumper. I am however upgrading to the 27.5X3.8 carbon tubeless setup with the Dt350 hubs, which will rocket this bike to the next level. The fox transfer dropper post is amazing and has worked fine in all temps. I also opted to go with the Manitou Mastodon for its rigidity and its built for cold weather use. This bike is worth the cash, and I am interested to see future models from Framed.

Why did you go with the 177mm rear end when the Alaskans have the 197mm rear end? I'd like to have a spare wheelset that fits both bikes. Do you plan to ever offer this in the 197mm rear wheel?

BEST ANSWER:Hi, I passed your question to the good people over at Framed. Framed says: "Thanks for the question! We chose to use a 177mm rear spacing because it creates a more responsive feel on the trail. There are no plans to produce this bike using a 197mm rear spacing."

The paper catalog says this bike has a 197 thru axle in the rear and I have been told by live chat that this bike takes up to 5" tires. I need the 197 for the wheel sets I already own and for snow the 45Nrth 4.8 studs are my choice. What's the truth?

BEST ANSWER:Good Morning, Thank You for posting this question. I spoke to the Framed guys, and they state: "That is incorrect. The Framed Montana uses a 177mm rear thru-axle not a 197mm. The Montana can take up to a 4.6 tire no problem.... any bigger and it will rub the frame in corners." We will be updating and clarifying this information this morning. Thanks!
